| Yes, that's stained beech- | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Yes, that's stained beech--but that's not the same chair as the ones in gray vinyl. On your chair, the top of the back has more rounded corners, the arms are longer, there's more space between the back and the seat, and the frame has some major structural differences. The fabric on yours looks like a very Scandinavian wool but I can't tell if it's original or not so that doesn't necessarily mean anything. The arms look a bit overstuffed (the kind of thing that often happens when a piece is reupholstered) but that also might have no meaning. | |||||

| ... I really have no idea what the 0 stands for. Here is the Arabia stamps index: http://www.arabia.fi/en/Arabia-Story/COLLECTING-ARABIA/Factory-stamps I have looked at the stamps of my Arabia Finland items. Contrary to what they say, they have continued to use the date on the 1964-1971 stamps. The differences between the 2 stamps (49-64 and 64-71) are not obvious if you cannot compare them with your own eyes... the later stamps being a little smaller and the letters somewhat thicker. On the 1949-1964 stamp, the word Arabia measures 1,9 cm (at the base). On th ... | |||||

| ... The metal always had a slight texture afterword. You can easily spot where dents were removed. Also, instruments are made of pretty thin brass to begin with (though French horns are of especially thin metal---you can actually put a dent in the bell with your thumbnail!). This is because the gauge of the metal affects the playing qualities and sound of the instrument. A metal lampshade, though of thin metal, is considerably thicker. Also, is it brass? I don't know---I think the American ones I've seen were spun aluminum. It may be possible to remove de ... | |||||
| Thanks cd. | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Zephyr | General discussion | |
| Thanks cd. You confirmed all the things that had me concerned about this chair, and I really appreciate you weighing in. I have been relentlessly searching for the connection from Tarn Stole to OD, but have not had any success. The structural differences that you pointed out, also had me concerned, which is one of the reasons I was confused about it being a J-16, as Leif stated above. I thought that the original CL post had shown a label with "Hans Wegner" actually on the label, but right after I responded to the ad, the posting was taken down, and then re ... | |||||

| ... slightly different armrest shapes - tapered leg/rail interface - rounded rail ends - no exposed wood plugs to cover bolt holes at joints. If you can find verified proof that OD Mobler took over legit production of this chair from Tarm Stole and then made some detail refinements, the price looks okay to me (this Wegner design is not one of my favorites). Otherwise it falls under the "inspired by" category. The Jens Bernsen book lists 18 manufacturers that HW worked with, and OD Mobler is not on that list. | |||||

| Thank you. It looks very similar indeed. Nevertheless, there are two major differences: the armrests and the back, where the belts are mounted. I wonder which project was first. Looks like Ikea simplified the project. | |||||
| Odd -- I just looked again at | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Odd -- I just looked again at the dimensions: The top is almost seven feet long, by dining-table height. Yet it doesn't seem to be designed as a dining table. Does the Noguchi coffee table appear after 1939, or before ? Compare the furniture layout in the two vintage photos; some differences in seating placement, but the table occupies the window in both. And would Stone have specified those armchairs ? | |||||
| That's not the same chair, | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| That's not the same chair, Knoll or otherwise. Using the ball casters as a guide for matching the size of these two photos exactly, the following differences become obvious: 1. The top of the back of your chair is broader and more squared than that of the 1stDibs chair. 2. The angle where arm meets back is more acute on your chair than on the 1stDibs chair. 3. The seat on yours is wider and thicker than the one on the 1stDibs chair. They're similar but not the same. And again, there are lots of chairs with this same basic shape, both vintage and contempo ... | |||||
| Hi there, | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | 'andy man | General discussion | |
| ... I've bought (sans arm rests) and in much better shape than the first. The two of them are very old and have many matching details which I believe the one you pictured does also. The same bolts and nuts are used in both. You don't often see a Siesta without cushions on so it's not readily apparent but the nuts are not visible on the top surface of the front frames and the front surface of the back frames where the smaller crosspieces are attached. That doesn't mean anything really as far as original vs copy, maybe a short or trial run with a different man ... | |||||

| I ask because I recently had a 1970's British Herman Miller production which I placed next to my mid 60's American Herman Miller version for a comparison. The differences were very obvious once they were side by side. The 70's chair on the right of the images has a spider base that terminates higher giving the chair a taller stature. The back stand offs are bigger and chunkier, the armrests are 1cm longer and the lower back and headrest shells are deeper. This chair was made during Charles Eames lifetime (just) so I wonder if he sanctioned the changes to the ... | |||||
